Peer Guidance

The Student Learning Hub connects students with peer-based support that complements academic learning and promotes wellbeing. These programmes are open to all students, regardless of background or level of study.

PASS is a free, voluntary programme that supports students in selected challenging units through peer-led study sessions.

Sessions are facilitated by trained senior students who have performed well in the unit. PASS focuses on:

Units currently supported through PASS:
– ICT283 Data Structures and Abstractions
– ICT387 Ethical Hacking and Software Security

Student Wellness Advocacy Team (SWAT)

SWAT is a student-led peer mentoring programme that promotes inclusion, wellbeing, and a supportive campus culture.

SWAT mentors:
• raise awareness of wellbeing and disability
• encourage help-seeking and bystander support
• connect students with on- and off-campus resources

The programme is grounded in peer mentoring and bystander engagement, recognising that students often turn to peers first when they need support.

Becoming a SWAT Mentor

Recruitment for SWAT opens in Trimester Two.

To apply, students submit an application and a short letter of recommendation.

Mentors commit to training, regular meetings, and supporting a small mentoring caseload during the academic year.
